Trader Joe's blog and cooking.
So, let’s have a moment of honesty. I’m not sure about you, but I strongly prefer to brew my own brew. My coffee of last resort is usually something that comes from instant or comes out of a can. I like my coffee on the lighter side, so a latte isn’t too far away from…
Riddle me this- What color is watermelon really? Watermelon Jolly Ranchers seem to be pink, most watermelons I’ve purchased have a pink interiors. So why is there such a terrible mismatch between color of the box of Trader Joe’s Sparkling Watermelon Juice and of the liquid hiding inside these cute cans?
It’s been a while since Trader Joe’s added anything to the dips and hummus options. They’ve taken away items, but not too much has been added back. Well, consider this a vegetarian (at least based on the ingredients) spin on the familiar 7 layer dip. Trader Joe’s 5 Layer Dip is new, delicious, and just…
The longer I’m at this blog, the more patterns I see. I’ve seen products come and go. And come back again. Sometimes after years of disappearing. If you are familiar with Trader Joe’s A Dozen Sweet Bites, you might recognize this cake. In fact, Trader Joe’s Opera Cake hasn’t been on shelves in many years.
I was beginning to wonder when we would see another cauliflower item appear in Trader Joe’s shelves. And now, it has found its way into breakfast through Trader Joe’s Egg Frittata. But don’t worry, the taste of cauliflower was quite muted.
A review of an Indian fish entree at Trader Joe’s called Fish Korma Curry. It might be the best of the Trader Joe’s Indian frozen meals.
It’s not often that I review things as basic and a half gallon of milk. Normally, I wouldn’t. But this product jumped out to me on a few different levels. First, it’s organic and grass fed (all buzzwords right now) AND for the price. Second, this half gallon set me back nearly $5 and that…
Mochi. There isn’t really quite much that is like it. It’s one of those fun things to have people try. It’s quite polarizing too. Either you’ll love it or you’ll hate it. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground when it comes to this sweet confection and now Trader Joe’s Mochi Cake Mix is…
Trader Joe’s Green Sauce 2.0. However, this green sauce is different from the current green dragon hot sauce available on shelves. Trader Joe’s Jalapeño Sauce is overall pretty good and a completely different beast from the other green sauce, it’s a solid Jalapeño Pepper Hot Sauce.
Welcome back to another edition of the Fearless Flyer Matchups! Here are the matchups for the May 2019 flyer which landed today. If there is a picture next to the product, it is matched with a review from this blog. If it is just a link, then it is a review on a different site….
I love Blondies. I reviewed Trader Joe’s Blondies Bar Baking Mix not too long ago. When my Mom and Sister hear that I’m making a Trader Joe’s run, that is their usual request. That is one of my sister’s favorite items to make and bring to her workplace. Because who doesn’t love the dense blondie…
Two new cookies have hit shelves: Trader Joe’s Georgia Pecan Butterscotch Chip Cookies and the Benne Wafer Cookies. Yes, this has been the year of the snack food. Now despite the words “Georgia” and the color of the bag, there is no peach in this. Nope, just straight up pecan and butterscotch.
Oh Trader Joe’s…how 2019 has become the year of the snack food on shelves. But you see, Trader Joe’s Jerk Style Plantain Chips are different. We’ve now officially elevated the snack into something completely delicious.
Nothing in my household says weekend quite like pancakes. And bacon for that matter. But every now and again I need to venture away from our old standby: Bisquick. There is something about that mix that I’ve never quite been able to replicate at home. My husband likes it, so we seem to stick with…
